Now, how to find the lions and buffalo on those vast Plains. The first clue is to watch out for the Cattle Egrets. They return to the buffalo in the very early dawn from their overnight roosting places. So, follow the egrets, and there are the buffalo.Now, knowing that the lions are close by, it is simply a matter of circling the herd if buffalo in ever increasing circles until they are found.And yes, Silver-Eye and her pride are indeed encountered less than 800 meters from the herd.
